Canon has once again been awarded EcoVadis Platinum status, placing the company among the top 1% of businesses worldwide for sustainability performance. This marks the second consecutive year Canon has achieved the highest possible rating.
For businesses and households that rely on printing, it’s encouraging to see major manufacturers continuing to improve their environmental performance.
At Crazy Kangaroo, we’re proud to partner with Canon and supply genuine Canon ink cartridges alongside our free ink cartridge recycling service.
What is EcoVadis?
EcoVadis is one of the world’s most recognised independent sustainability ratings platforms. It evaluates companies on a wide range of environmental and ethical factors, including:
• Environmental impact
• Labour and human rights
• Ethics and responsible business practices
• Sustainable procurement
More than 130,000 companies globally are assessed through the EcoVadis system, making a Platinum rating extremely difficult to achieve.
Being ranked in the top 1% globally reflects long-term commitment and measurable progress in responsible business practices.
Why Canon’s Platinum Rating Matters
Printing is something most homes, schools and offices still rely on. When a major manufacturer like Canon commits to improving sustainability across its supply chain, the impact can be significant.
Canon’s environmental efforts include:
• Reducing carbon emissions across operations
• Improving recycling and reuse of materials
• Designing products with efficiency and longevity in mind
• Increasing transparency around environmental performance
Recognition from EcoVadis helps demonstrate that these efforts are being independently measured and verified.
Why Crazy Kangaroo Is Proud to Support Canon
At Crazy Kangaroo, our goal has always been to make printing more responsible without making it complicated.
We only stock genuine inks, and we encourage customers to recycle their empty cartridges rather than sending them to landfill.
Working with brands that are actively improving their environmental standards aligns closely with what we’re trying to achieve.
Don’t Forget to Recycle Your Canon Ink Cartridges
Empty ink cartridges can often still be recycled and reused in manufacturer programmes.
If you’re using Canon ink, we make recycling easy.
You can download a Freepost ink cartridge recycling label here:

Simply print the label, attach it to an envelope, and send your empty Canon cartridges back for recycling.
The Bigger Picture
Sustainability improvements rarely come from one action alone. They come from a combination of:
• Manufacturers improving production and product design
• Retailers encouraging responsible behaviour
• Customers recycling and disposing of products properly
Canon’s second consecutive EcoVadis Platinum rating is another positive step in that direction.
